Alishia Woodard McDonald

If I could give 0 stars I would but here we go for starters alishia will fast talk you in lnto thinking she knows the law and will do her best to defend you. She will over talk you to try and make you think she is right she only talked to my boyfriend for about 5 minutes total in the 10 months he was... in jail. I hired alishia 2 weeks into him being locked up so she had plenty of time to learn his case when I would ask questions she would copy and paste long internet post that if I understood I could google myself. She never answered my questions or she would give a dry answer and never showed any concern. she interviewed the “victim” that told 3 different stories and she never called them on any of the lies. In the interview she never showed any concern for her client she flat out told my boyfriend that if he went to trial he would lose. She never offered any defense never asked his side of the story never looked into getting any camera footage which was definitely there. He was told there was no camera footage in a grocery store none at the traffic lights none at the atm none in a McDonald’s just no footage from the entire town. We live in a very small town anything that is done spreads anything that is said spreads these people are walking around town laughing at how we hired the worst attorney in the world have flat out admitted they lied and said she wouldn’t figure it out cause she’s that bad don’t waste your money maybe this review will help her to do better but at this time she is not the way to go.

I wouldn't recommend this firm I didn't even get a call back. I see she's been doing great from 2017-2022 but currently Ms McDonald has been very unprofessional. I was promised a call on Monday after Easter haven't heard anything back yet, whatsoever. Had to hire someone else who actually called m...e back, had me come in and jump right on my case no excuses. If your serious about your life situations, I wouldnt recommend hiring Ms McDonald.

Was not willing to fight.. she seems like she was working for the other side mote than me long story short I left my divorce with nothing' but thank God I've been blessed to bounce back ..just wanted to warn anybody before going down this road... Don't do it don't say I didn't tell you.. God bless ...

This thing called a lawyer Who I hired in Gainesville Florida was supposed to be my public defendant lawyer during my divorce case and custody battle case. She did absolutely nothing to help me, She was super unprofessional she lost my paperwork and went to the judge behind my back to tell him that I... was not doing my part when I always kept contact with her. She had a lot of attitude and never took interest in meeting me in person. Her only interests were only her own. If you see this woman’s name run and please do not waste your money hiring her and her independent private practice in Orlando.

In the early 2000s I was charged in a criminal case. I chose Alisha Mcdonald as my attorney after a consult with her where she gave her word that she would everything she could to ensure the best possible outcome since it was a first offense. Alisha Mcdonald did absolutely nothing but take my money.... She completely dropped the ball with my case and to add insult to injury she chose to represent the other party from my case (victim) in another case. This caused a conflict of interest so she dropped my case weeks before I was scheduled to appear in court. She didn't even try to get a plea deal for me, I had to hire another attorney just to negotiate a plea deal. The other party that she dropped my case for did not have a favorable outcome in court either. I would not recommend Alisha Mcdonald to my enemy. If I could give her negative 0 for a rating I would do it.
